This sleek and roomy Samsung refrigerator has everything you need to organize your groceries. Keep produce fresh in the humidity-controlled crispers, use the gallon door bins to store beverages and condiments, and freeze items fast in the lower freezer drawer.
Q: What is the minimum width needed to ensure each door can open to 90 degrees?
A: The RF220NCTASR measures 29-3/4" wide with a case depth of 30-1/2". Samsung recommends leaving at least 1" on each side and 2" in the rear for air circulation and to allow the door hinges to swing open. It appears that the handles on both the right and left sides will be able to clear the neighboring walls in your kitchen without a problem allowing the doors to open 90-degrees. Keep in mind that you may need to pull the refrigerator out a few inches or remove door bins when you wish to remove the crisper drawers completely (such as for cleaning), since the doors will need to be opened more than 90-degrees on those occasions. We appreciate your consideration! Ms. Samsung
A: Thank you for bringing this to our attention. While the actual installed height can vary slightly depending on how much the front leveling legs need to be adjusted, the correct height of the RF220NCTASR is 66-3/4" with the hinges. It's worth noting that the case height is 65-3/8", and Samsung recommends leaving 2" above the case for air circulation. We appreciate your interest in Samsung, Ms. Samsung
Q: what are the major differences in these models: RF220NCTASR, RF221NCTASR, RF221NCTASP
A: Thanks for the question. The RF221 models feature an internal water dispenser in the fridge compartment while the RF220 does not. The other difference is the finish; the RF220NCTASR and RF221NCTASR both have real stainless steel exterior finishes, while the RF221NCTASP features Samsung's Stainless Platinum finish which resembles real stainless but is fingerprint-resistant and magnetic. All three of these models measure 29-3/4" wide and feature HE LED lighting, flexible shelving and an automatic icemaker in the freezer. We appreciate your consideration! Ms. Samsung
Q: Does the "stainless-platinum" surface hold magnets?
A: Thanks for your interest. Samsung's Stainless Platinum finish is magnetic, so you can use your magnets on the surface of the RF220NCTASP. - Ms. Samsung
A: I had the same issue. The store won't tell you but, when I called regarding my order, I was told that it gets built at the factory, and it usually takes about six weeks. It's a special order. Not a common size refrigerator.
Q: Frost Free ?
A: Thanks for the question. The RF220NCTASR is actually considered a frost-free refrigerator, which means it has heaters built into the walls that cycle on periodically to prevent frost from building up on the walls. - Ms. Samsung
A: Thanks for your interest in Samsung's RF220 and RF221 French Door Refrigerators. Both of these models measure 29-3/4" wide. To open the door at least 90-degrees in order to fully access the crisper drawers, you'll need at least 3-3/4" clearance on the side that has the solid wall. Your 37-1/4" opening will allow the doors to open more than 90-degrees, which will be helpful for removing the drawers on occasion for cleaning. - Ms. Samsung
A: Thanks for asking, Louie! There is a button on the control panel of this refrigerator that turns the ice maker on/off. ^Jecca
